I am capable, confident and you know you won't find anyone better." :) However, I've yet to get a call back this time around. Darn economy. Or maybe I really don't have the bag of chips after all...

I have been so blessed working for ADP selling payroll and saving companies a ton of money versus in house payroll and taking liability over payroll taxes....etc... I get the chance to speak with authority and confidently about this and more... It truly helps my confidence knowing I have the best company backing me up...not plugging ADP I promise. Likewise, and more importantly, as Christians, we have the creature of the universe backing us up so we should go confidently in all we do showing the world what the Lord God Almighty has our back and we have nothing to be fearful of or timid about especially when it comes to Christiandom.

I've never set out to have a confident attitude, but I've never gone into an interview with the "I hope" attitude. Every real job interview that I've interviewed for, I've either gotten the job or was at least offered it. I guess I went in with a confident subconscious attitude. I agree with you.

Before I would have walked in and try to "hope" my way through stuff. But I think as I've gotten to the ripe age of 29 I am coming into my own. I am more aware of what my strengths are and now knowing that I can be confident in my approach. I still may be sweatin like im in sauna.. but at least im confident doing it..:) Great post Brad.
